| Sergey Brin in 2013? Not technically a CEO, but comparable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Brin#Personal_life ("...after Brin had an extramarital affair with a Google Glass colleague") Steve Jobs had a daughter he tried to pretend wasn't his (the namesake of the Apple "Lisa"), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Brennan-Jobs ("Jobs initially denied paternity for several years, which led to a legal case and various media reports...") |

| It’s his company and he admitted it? It’s a human failing and it’s his issue to deal with. Nobody else has grown Nvidia from where it started to where it is. Jensen isn’t a politician and you’re missing who would replace him at the helm of his own company? Would it be grounds for Zuckerberg to step down if he had an affair? Of course not. |

| ▲ | arthurcolle 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | Mackenzie Scott was a bookkeeper in Amazon's early days while married to Jeff Bezos but I don't think she is universally recognized as a cofounder of Amazon. This has come up before on this site and I personally don't care one way or another. Her stake is from the divorce, not from options granted as part of employment or investment... |

| I am generally curious: Why is that? Is it because they expose a weakness that allows their enemies to cut them from power, because it is a moral flaw, because they breach employment contract, ...? |

| ▲ | paulpauper 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | He survived the whole SEC thing, I think tesla board realized that the stock was already in trouble and him leaving would make a bad situation worse, when they needed to raise money. This was in 2019, before Tesla's huge post-Covid turnround. | |
| ▲ | arthurcolle 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | This one is good, I'll grant this an honorable mention. My instinct here is to say that serial unmarried "bachelors" / IVF enthusiasts don't count in the same way as a Jensen or a bank CEO type. |
